Montreal's McGill University Is Hosting A Massive Snowball Fight This Afternoon

Get ready for some winter mayhem.

Snow is here and everywhere, so why not make the best of the winter-tastic situation and partake in some classic seasonal mayhem by participating in today's giant snowball fight at McGill.

As is apparently tradition (a similar event was held in 1900) students at McGill University are putting together a massive snowball for all to partake in. Fling some snowflakes and alleviate some exam stress, or just make the best of a very snowy day in Montreal, either way, prepare for a snowball battle of epic proportions.

Here's the rundown on the event:

Snowball warriors will meet at 4pm in front of McGill's main/Roddick Gates

Those gathered will then divide into two groups and the battle will begin

No grabbing will be permitted during the snowball fight, and only soft snow (no ice) can be thrown

Anyone with their hand raised is safe and cannot be attacked, this will be the "safety word" for the fight

An individual who uses the above as a means to sneak attack someone will be subject to an attack from both sides of the battle
